If it happens it happens and I'll see you there. 352bhp+317ftlb/1310Kg=Joy!

The normal car park does not have the space for us to hold the event safely. This is the first time we have ever had to cancel the event, but the owner of the café has asked to cancel the event this month. We hope to see you in June with much sunnier weather!
